T2M2 now analyses multiple and manual backups in 0.3b1

Thank you to all who reported experience and bugs with The Time Machine Mechanic (T2M2) version 0.2b1. The latest release is available from Downloads above.

I have expanded the documentation to include that available in other articles here, including the full account of lines in the report which it produces. I have also updated that article here to reflect changes in this version.

Multiple destinations seems to work correctly now.
Is there a reason for limiting the time span to 24 hours?
I know that there were errors more than 24 hours ago and I don’t particularly want to generate forced errors to verify version 0.3b1 operation.

Thank you. The 24-hour limit is fairly arbitrary. I wanted to keep setting the period simple, to avoid having multiple units. I’ll have a look here to see how that would be pushed toward 48 hours, for the next version.
I may also produce a command tool implementation which you could run, say, every 12 hours, to alert by notification.
Thank you for your diligent testing.
Howard.

I should have a new beta version which will do up to 48 hours (which is getting close to the limit of the log, anyway) and look at scheduling during tomorrow morning. It is built ready, but I need to check it a bit more and document it properly before release here.
